Experimental and modelling analyses suggest a non-linear scaling relationship between IFT velocity and ciliary length that can be accounted for by limitation of the motors.

During intraflagellar transport (IFT), kinesin-II dissociates from IFT trains at the flagellar tip and its diffusion in flagella serves as a negative feedback mechanism that facilitates flagellar length control in Chlamydomonas.

The anaphase promoting complex (APC) has an essential role in ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis in the disassembly of cilia.

Analysis of mutant cells combined with biochemical experiments reveals that CEP78 is recruited to the centrosome by CEP350 and regulates ciliogenesis and ciliary length control through CP110-dependent and CP110-independent mechanisms, respectively.

Giardia, a multi-ciliated parasitic protist, maintains four different flagellar lengths by balancing flagellar length-independent IFT-mediated assembly with length-dependent kinesin-13 mediated disassembly.

A new imaging technique sheds light on how cilia regulate their length and growth.

At optimal concentrations, the ciliary inhibitor Cp110 promotes ciliogenesis by localization to previously uncharacterized sites at the basal body, where it recruits ciliary adhesion complexes that mediate basal body interaction with F-actin networks.

The structural and functional analysis demonstrates the mechanism of dual functional, motility and microtubule depolymerization in a unique motor, KIF19A.

A model for flagellar length control based on calcium influx is rejected based on quantitative measurements in Chlamydomonas cells.

DYRK2 regulator governs the mammalian ciliogenesis to maintain proper embryogenesis via activation of the Hh signaling during development in vivo.
